Suicide Squad Leaked Trailer: 6 Things You Need To Know

6. Amanda Waller's Grand Plan

The trailer's lengthy opening scene sees Amanda Waller lay out her plan for the Suicide Squad to what are presumably the men funding the operation over dinner in a fancy restaurant.

Describing those she's chosen as the "worst of the worst", it sounds like Belle Reve is going to be a hidden location which the public are unaware of in the DC Cinematic Universe (whereas in the comics, it's simply like any other prison, just specifically for those with powers). 

"I want to assemble a task force of the most dangerous people on the planet who I think can do some good," she says before being questioned about the fact they're all villains. To that, Waller replies: "That's right, and if anything goes wrong, we blame them." She's as ruthless as in the source material then, something which is evident when she makes it clear that she's an expert at getting people to act against their own self interest.

As expected, David Ayer is sticking to the comics when it comes to the reason for Task Force X being created, though there was no mention in this trailer of the team being outfitted with explosives which will instantly kill them if they disobey orders. As Waller seems confident that nothing will lead back to her or the men she's talking to should things go wrong, perhaps that's a plot point this movie will end up shying away from.
